4.1.3. Real-Time Hub and Alerts

đź’ˇ First Principle: Real-Time Hub provides visibility into streaming data flows, and alerts enable proactive notification when thresholds are breached. Instead of discovering problems during morning review, you know immediately when something goes wrong.

Scenario: An eventstream processes payment transactions. If the error rate exceeds 1%, the operations team must be notified immediately—not discovered during morning review.

Configuring Alerts

  1. Navigate to Real-Time Hub
  2. Select event source or stream
  3. Configure alert conditions
  4. Specify notification method (email, Teams)

Alert Types

Alert TypeTriggerUse Case
Workspace EventsPipeline failed, refresh failedFailure notification
Metric ThresholdError rate > X%, Latency > Y msPerformance degradation
Data ConditionSpecific value in streamBusiness rule violation

⚠️ Exam Trap: Configure alerts for performance degradation, not just failures. Latency increases and throughput drops often precede failures—catching them early prevents outages.
